“Are cellular phone basedtechnologies monitoring feasible forpatients with chronic diseases anddoes it improve their quality of life?”

Problem / Research Question

Key Words

Cellular Phone

Monitoring, Physiologic

Chronic Diseases

Expected Results

 Cellular phone-based technologies (CPT) have importantadvantages for patient monitoring: high portability and mobility[1];

 Provide benefits for doctors and patients by improving theircommunication [2];

 CPT improve patients’ quality of life [2];

 Patients can have some difficulties working with CPT.
